JRE Recaps #1 - Extreme Ownership & Quit Balming Others For Your Life. - JRE #956 - Guy Ritchie @ 17:20
If you don't own something, you're not the boss
You have to take full responsibility for everything that you do
Why be subservient, you must be the master of your own kingdom.
You can't just walk into things with your eyes half open, you gotta walk in with your eyes fully open, you gotta know what you're getting into, you have to take possession of your life.
The world will try to tell you who you are, and you've gotta tell yourself who you are.
Far too often people want to blame others for their life. They'll blame their parents or society or whoever they perceive responbility for their own shortcomings. It's far easier to blame others than to accept full responsibility for your life, to realise that all your failiings, your exact position in life is 100% because of your own actions. Had you chosen different actions, taken a different path you'd be at a different point in life. Life isn't something that happens to you. Don't watch life pass you by.
Theres so much wisdom in what Guy Ritchie is saying, I think I need to watch this daily as a reminder.
